That 60minutes story was the biggest load of one sided 'pony pooh' seen on TV for sometime.
There was not one mention of the changes & introduction of part 115, which has introduced a raft of safety measure's including a calculated W&B for each load minimum experience and recurrent training. Which is far more than a drop pilot in oz gets.....
Having worked on both sides of the ditch recently, NZ has a much better regulatory system to work under & a far more approachable regulator.
